P & S, West Sussex

Extreme heat: 42 degrees which we have never experienced before.  Thank goodness for pool (lovely) thick stone walls, shutters and fans!  It’s actually been a very restful and peaceful stay.  We have stayed here many times as our children grew up, but this year just the two of us – although our son flew into Bordeaux to join us for a few days which was nice. Driving home tomorrow, always sad to leave the peace here and look forward to returning.  June 2026.
